If you take over Canada you won’t be able to tell the difference, you will think you got Mumbai!

That's funny.... Because it's true!

Although I doubt China owns as much of Mumbai as they do Canada.

Trump wants to buy Canada and Greenland. What do you guys think of this?....One can not buy a thing that isn`t for sale..or what?..

As long as Trudeau is not included in the deal

I'll bet house speaker Johnson doesn't last long under Trump

A summary is here for those that don't like to peruse the document. Gaetz has been hinting going after Rubio's seat or run for the governor in 2026. Would be interesting to see if his Teflon coating will hold.

Regardless, it shows that Trump people did no vetting on him or just ignored everything due to his loyalty to Trump.

What a douche bag...

Interesting two minutes of footage from one of the UA regiments committed to the Kursk salient. They are among the units encountering the poorly trained and totally inexperienced NKPA troops provided to Russia. Out of necessity, "suicide" drones have taken over much of the role normally provided by artillery.

I am not entirely convinced that there are North Korean troops in Kursk. I still haven't seen any definitive proof of their presence. Its certainly possible they are there, but just because a soldier in the Russian army looks Asian doesn't mean he's a North Korean. 3/4ths of Russia's landmass lies in Asia there is a number of Asian looking ethnic minorities in Siberia...

On the other hand today marks the end of DeepStateUA. After months of Russia's accelerating advance along the entire front line, Ukraine's commander in chief, Syrsky, has finally closed down the DeepStateUA map. It was one of the few somewhat objective Ukrainian sources on the state of the front. This map was also frequently watched by Ukrainian soldiers so that they could get an idea of what was actually going on. That didn't seem to sit well with Syrsky and with Zelensky aka the green t-shirt.

Furthermore, Syrsky stated that the analysts running DeepStateUA will now be sent to front-line infantry units. This picture allegedly shows these analysts being detained at the Romanian border. It seems these patriots are willing to do everything for Ukraine, except sit in the front lines and fight the "shovel wielding Russian orcs".

But hey the NAFO brigades of Reddit are telling us that Ukraine is winning and that the AFU will soon be at the gates of Moscow.

Then you seem to be the only one.

Not sure anyone is saying the UA is winning, but I personally would not point to the Slavic/Asiatic horde as an exemplar of victory as Russia and its coveted allies like North Korea, Iran, and Syria - oops - no longer Syria - prepare to enter the fourth year of a two-week conquest of Ukraine.

As a historical note, it took the Wehrmacht about six-weeks as I recall.

But there are indeed Russian achievements that should celebrated.

After all, instead of a potential Ukraine/NATO border, Russia has achieved one over a thousand kilometers long thanks to Finland. The Baltic, once an area of constant concern to the West, is now a NATO lake thanks to that other NATO surprise known as Sweden. Kaliningrad, once a thorn in NATO's side, is now an indefensible Russian strategic liability that might as well revert to being called Konigsberg. On the economic front, the economy is in a slow motion collapse with interest and inflation rates ballooning, while petro-dollars currently hover almost forty dollars a barrel below the February of 2022 price. One might also check that ruble exchange rate. Things are going so well that the little KGB thug in the Kremlin is forced to go on his knees to North Korea and Iran because his powerful strategic partner China has determined it is better to sit this one out. Putin has even managed to get Western Europe to up its defense spending and end its strategic dependence on Russian natural gas. That is indeed an awesome list of accomplishments in just less than thirty-six months.

But I will grant respect to every Russian apologist for their unwavering steadfast support of the dictator in the Kremlin and their ability to blind themselves to Russia's deteriorating strategic condition - regardless of the eventual negotiated outcome in Ukraine.

Don't we have enough coffee and donut shops already?

Biden's commutation of death row inmates reeks, If he felt so strongly convinced it was necessary why did he wait until his last few days in office? Purely political to wait until the ballots counted and had nothing to do with right and wrong. Another example of the wokeness distorting the rule of law and common sense. Sickening.

What happened to the artillery?

 

[Tundra Tiger]

Am I missing something?

90something percent of the news I watch is Fox. Tonight I expected to hear about the Gaetz story. Tho only mention came on Bret Baier. Nada on other shows.

I get Fox is conservative/Republican friendly - that's why I watch it. But not bringing up the release of the House Ethics report at all? WTH?

What many EU polititians don`t want to admit it was actually Trump that pushed them to fulfill the NATO contract. Trump gave them a wake-up call.....Pay-up or we`ve stay out. Think of it. Back in 1941 Hitler could muster 3mill men to the east alone. I doubt if one could find 2mill men(like real men) in todays EU.

Anyway. Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.

Hitler could do it, because he militarized the society, starting in 1933. Had time to prepare. Ever since 1933 all he was doing, was to build up the army and prepare for war. Economy, industry, propaganda, subject only to this

In modern europe, post ww2, the societies and populations are demilitarized for generations.
Most of the countries of Europe have some form of institute of objection or appeal of conscience in law or in national constitution. This is mainly derived from European declaration on human rights.
Basically this means that anybody whose religion, or belief is against guns, can refuse to hold a rifle and has the right to decline to serve the army or armed forces.

There are further complications: free movement of services and goods in EU.
Thousands of professionals and workers move around the Europe, for a job. Try to mobilize them from national recruiting office from Spain to Poland, from Sweden to Italy. Everybody, everywhere.

Europan system is designed to maintain professional armies.

Putin invaded Chechnya in 1999 and has certainly not neglected his armaments since then.
The German Reichswehr started almost from scratch in 1933(the Treaty of Versailles
demilitarization); the same cannot be said of Putin's army
